This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $339,038 to the University of Pittsburgh to study the prevalence and impact of frailty in older adults with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The award period runs from Sep 15, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the association of frailty with glucocorticoid duration and prescription analgesic use in older adults with PMR, and 2) Examine the association of physical...
This federal Project Grant award of $3,343,725 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research by The Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Corporation investigating the opposing effects of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix aging and muscle activity on extracellular vesicle promotion of muscle regeneration. The research aims to mechanistically understand how age-related changes in the muscle extracellular matrix impact the molecular signatures of muscle-derived...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,631,690 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC) to develop a proteomic signature for predicting delirium risk and long-term cognitive decline in older cardiac surgery patients. The project aims to leverage plasma samples from the ongoing PANDORA clinical trial to derive and validate a delirium protein signature, as well as explore links between delirium, Alzheimer's disease, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $1,294,013 to Mayo Clinic to conduct a randomized clinical trial examining the impact of biological mechanisms of aging on exercise response variability in older adults. The project aims to define the heterogeneity in physical function and insulin sensitivity outcomes in response to a 6-month resistance training intervention, with a focus on investigating the...
